8PM Consulting

About the Name

8PM…that’s the time that I, as a Black mother, reach a daily crossroad.

If my children are with me, I find a sigh of relief knowing that we survived another day.  If they are not, the torture of hypotheticals runs rampant in my mind and I have to strategically discern between intuition and panic.  The internal battle begins as I wonder if harm has met them in the form of physical pain, if they are alone and scared, and/or if they need me and can’t reach me.

My story isn’t unique and resonates with countless mothers, no matter their background.  But as a Black mother, I am burdened with the notion that the target on their backs shines brighter on their Black skin.  The target is visible to a world that unapologetically hates what they represent and will use its power, privilege, and resources to destroy them, simply…because…they’re…Black!

While these worries are similar for a mother’s heart, no matter their background, I am burdened with the notion that the target on their backs shines brighter on their Black skin. The target is visible to a world that unapologetically hates what they represent and will use its power, privilege, and resources to destroy them, simply… because… they’re… Black!
